[sailfish-utilities] Add a Restart Fingerprint button. Fixes JB#57941 #62
Conversation
Adds various files (*.cpp, *.h, *.sh) to the project file so they appear in the Sailfish IDE. CMake is used for the actual building, so this doesn't affect the build process.

Does it need a whole ten seconds? That'll seem like a long time with a spinner. |
Yes, it is a long time to wait, you're right. I basically took this from the reports on the forum which all seem to use either 10 or 20 seconds as the gap. But it would be better if it could be less. We could go with something short and increase the length if it turns out to be unreliable. Would you have a suggestion as a starting point? |
|
I think I usually only wait for 2 or 3, so 5 might be enough |
|
I too think 10 is excessive. I run the restart commands basically as fast as i can type my password. |
|
Thanks for the feedback both. I've set it to 5 seconds. It still feels like quite a long time, so maybe it could go lower? |
|
Maybe two or three? You can always press it again if it wasn't long enough. |
|
I've set it to three. If it proves ineffective, we can bump it up later (it's pretty easy to change on-device as well). |
Adds a button for restarting the fingerprint service. In practice, it restarts, waits 3 seconds and then restarts again. In some situations where the fingerprint cache gets messed up, which prevents fingerprints from being recognised, this sequence resolves the issue.
